The Ex Factor: Chapter Five
Ethan looked at the clock once again, and resumed pacing his office.
"Where are you, Theresa?"
It had been nearly 45 minutes since he'd sent her the e-mail. He had been positive she would have been here by now. Maybe she was planning something. Maybe she was going to show up in that ridiculous rain coat again-with nothing on underneath. Not that he'd fall for that one again-
Ethan laughed to himself and shook his head. Who was he kidding? He'd love it if she did that. He'd like it even more if she didn't even bother with the raincoat this time around. He sighed as he looked at a picture of himself, Gwen, and Jane on his desk.
"I'm so sorry, Gwen. Sorry I'm so weak. I just-I've always loved her. I don't know how to stop." He ignored the tiny voice in the back of his mind that told him he didn't want to stop, either.
The ringing phone broke into his thoughts. "Theresa!" Ethan leapt for the phone. "Hello, T-Gwen!"
"Ethan, I need you." Gwen's voice was shaking. "I need you to come here, right away."
"What? Are you at home? What's wrong?" Ethan's anxiety rose. Gwen sounded so upset.
"No, no. I'm not at home. I'm actually at Theresa's, believe it or not. Ethan, we need to talk. Get here as fast as you can." Gwen disconnected the phone.
"My God." Ethan thought, rubbing a hand over his eyes. "She knows. She knows about me and Theresa."
